The technical reality is during a disaster you want the DSCP markings to be honored (exact opposite of neutrality). E911 gets highest priority non control plane markings.
Intervening when we have no idea of the break-even point is âoenaive interventionism,â a phrase first brought to my attention by Nassim Taleb. In Antifragile, Taleb writes:
In the case of tonsillectomies, the harm to the children undergoing unnecessary treatment is coupled with the trumpeted gain for some others. The name for such net loss, the (usually bitten or delayed) damage from treatment in excess of the benefits, is iatrogenics.

"The view that we should not worry about any of these things and follow technology to wherever it will go is insane," said @daronacemogIu, an economist at MIT. https://t.co/NvHdDpaPLv
"[Previously], I didn’t think this was a very complicated subject; The #Luddites were wrong and the believers in technology & technological progress were right,” Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury secretary and presidential economic adviser “I’m not so completely certain now.”
"People who design airplanes and machines... no matter how much they believe that what they do is good, the winds of time eventually turn them into tools of industrial civilization. It's never unscathed. They're cursed dreams. Animation, too. Today, all of humanity's dreams are cursed somehow. Beautiful, yet cursed dreams... What I mean is, how do we know movies are even worthwhile? Most of our world is rubbish... It's difficult." --Hayao Miyazaki, The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness
Most people (pro or anti vax) do not have the faintest idea of how vaccines work, which is why you end up with shrill and irrational arguments for & against. Most conflate all vaccines as though they are all equally (un)safe and (in)effective.
Some people have natural immunity, and dont need a vaccine. Some people are asymptomatic carriers - they carry a virus, but it doesnt make them sick. Some people have defective immune systems, and vaccines dont work. Vaccines operate at population level, not individual.
FWIW, my niece at 12 months exhibited symptoms of measles after her vax...
THE VAX ISSUE FOR ME IS SIMPLE: The issue is not the efficacy of vaccines but the vaccine obligation. Why are they mandatory when they have no undergone RCT or double blind testing like any other drug? Why "confuse" two subjects so differently? We dont because of profit. https://t.co/1AFfBlwI1V
Thomas McKeown, who was *pro* vaccination, argued that in almost all cases mortality almost completely disappeared prior to vaccination as a result of socioeconomic improvements that led to better nutrition, by which he meant better access to total food. https://t.co/Pjmh2Av3Va

pv/T=k Boyles law.
Pressure *Volume/Temperature = Constant
Yes they are related but temperature (which is a function of the speed at which particles are moving in a substance) determines both Pressure and Volume in nature.
So pressures dont change temperature, temperature changes pressure and volume.
Unless you want to add a world wide compressor pump, temperature depends on how much energy is in the atmosphere and not on pressure.
Pressure, thus temperature, varies with altitude.
So runaway global warming is not possible. We will just hit a hotter and wetter equilibrium.
I remember many years ago Larry King did an interview on his Live show on CNN. They called it "global warming" back then and not "climate change." The alarmist was arguing the world would turn into a desert. The climatologist King had on (I want to say was credentialed from MIT) said if global warming was happening, it would get wetter not dryer.
That being said, monocropping agriculture has a good history of turning fertile areas into deserts... "Massive structures in middle of wasteland??" http://bit.ly/1c30qiw
Mt. Kilimanjaro located at Equator (~3.1 S) is a GREAT EXAMPLE of the atmospheric pressure effect on ground temperature: As air pressure decreases from 92 kPa at the foothills of Kilimanjaro to 47.8 kPa at its Summit, the mean annual surface temperature drops from 23 C to -6 C pic.twitter.com/26FNTnVx12
Unless the amount of energy you use is zero, inventing a more efficient way of producing energy is still beneficial. Since the world as a whole will continue to use slightly more than zero energy for the foreseeable future, any improvement in the generation of that energy will be massively beneficial.
You're making it into an either/or scenario which is completely absurd.
Strawman & Slippery Slope... I'm pretty sure I said "less"... you're the one that said "zero"
everybody is looking for technological salvation... the only clean energy is to simply use less... Gaviotas in Colombia was already working on clever ways to harness energy.

The idea that a change in concentration of a minor trace gas like #CO2 could boost the kinetic energy of the lower troposphere to cause 2-mile thick continental ice sheets (like the ones we had 20 Ky ago) to melt is BEYOND LUDICROUS!

BACKGROUND: The largest measles epidemic in North America in the last decade, occurred in 2011 in Quebec, Canada, where rates of 1- and 2-dose vaccine coverage among children 3 years of age were 95%-97% and 90%, respectively, with 3%-5% unvaccinated

I've studied enough math to 1) know it makes no claims on salvation, 2) detect evangelizing charlatans.
And this time your problem is the use of the word "without", when the discussion is focused on "fewer".
Still evangelizing a faith based proposition.
Ok, good luck finding technological salvation without externalities.
